‘Fariña,’ another Atresmedia original series, to premiere on March 16th

March 12, 2020

LINK TO DOWNLOAD TRAILER OF ‘FARIÑA’

LINK TO DOWNLOAD STILLS FROM ‘FARIÑA’

With Javier Rey in the leading role, more than 120 actors make up the cast of this series on the drug trade in Galicia, pitched in the key of a thriller.

Shot entirely on location, ‘Fariña’ is a journey in time back to the moment when a group of secretive fishermen became smugglers and ended up as Europe’s biggest drug kingpins.

Ramón Campos, Teresa Fernández-Valdés, Sonia Martínez and Carlos Sedes are the executive producers of this adaptation of the book of the same name by Galician journalist Nacho Carretero

MADRID, March 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — ‘Fariña,’ a new original series by Atreseries, will premiere in prime time on March 16^th.

The series, starring Galician actor Javier Rey (‘Bandolera’, ‘Hispania’ and ‘Velvet’), recounts the fast life of Sito Miñanco in Galicia in the 1980s, when this coastal region had all the ingredients to become the ‘new Sicily‘: economic backwardness, an age-old tradition along its rocky shores of smuggling by land and sea, against a backdrop of admiration and tolerance for criminal activity, inherited from harmless and benevolent tobacco smuggling chieftains.

In ten episodes — each one set during a year in the decade of the 1980s -— and pitched in the key of a thriller, ‘Fariña’ is an original series by Atresmedia, produced in collaboration with Bambú Productions, and an adaptation of the best-selling book of the same name by Galician journalist Nacho Carretero.

Besides Javier Rey, more than 120 actors make up the cast of this series, featuring stars like Tristán Ulloa, Manuel Lourenzo, Antonio Durán Morris, Carlos Blanco, Jana Pérez, Marta Larralde, Tamar Novas, Fran Lareu, Xose A. Touriñán, and Celso Bugallo, among others.

The shooting, which lasted for 26 weeks, was done entirely on location, depicting a journey in time back to the moment when a group of secretive fishermen overnight became smugglers and ended up as Europe’s leading drug kingpins, driven by the Colombian connection, which, via the rocky estuaries of Rias Baixas, was to inject fariña, or flour, the cocaine that the whole continent would be snorting from that moment on.

With Ramón Campos, Teresa Fernández-Valdés, Sonia Martínez and Carlos Sedes as executive producers, the script features input from Nacho Carretero, under the responsibility of Ramón Campos and Gema R. Neira themselves, along with Cristóbal Garrido and Diego Sotelo.

More than 120 actors and over 3,000 extras were involved in the filming of ‘Fariña’ during the six weeks in which shooting took place. More than 300 period vehicles were needed, and over 10,000 pesetas in currency had to be printed.

One of the truly outstanding features of the production was the filming of the chase scenes at night over the course of three weeks, which required more than 30 vessels.

Series Synopsis
1980s. Galicia. The reform of the fisheries industry has left part of the Galician fishing fleet on dry land, and hundreds of vessel owners in debt. There is no work. In the numerous fishing villages dotting the coast of Galicia, the lack of income and daily wages is economically strangling households. It’s the perfect mix of ingredients to bring about the big transformation: former tobacco smugglers make the leap into something that’s bigger and more profitable, but also far more dangerous: drugs.

Tobacco smuggling, which had somehow become deeply rooted in society over the years, makes way for drug smuggling. The local smugglers get in touch with the Colombian cartels and start to smuggle cocaine. The drug trade in the white powder – which is already moving vast amounts of money in the U.S. – reaches Galicia and, ultimately, Spain and the rest of Europe.

Very soon, 80% of the cocaine arriving in Europe will be landing on the coasts of Galicia. Galician drug smugglers are raking in huge sums of money as the serpent of the drug trade begins to spread its poison in a society held hostage to the economic hardships of the period.

Lots of people see this criminal enterprise as a way to get by and even to live well. Law enforcement does not always act the way it’s supposed to, and there are those willing to look the other way.

With the passing of each day, the drug kingpins of Galicia gain more and more power. Overnight, they have become the Kings of Galicia.

March 11, 2020

TUCSON, Arizona, March 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — VisionQuest, also known as VQ, announced today it has been selected to provide in-home counseling and family intervention services for the newly established Juntos Court in Bexar County, Texas.

As part of its services and support, VQ will provide individual and family support for children ages 10-17 who are already under juvenile court supervision.

“The approach is to offer these kids and their families coping mechanisms and better opportunities besides gangs,” said Arant. “We will be sending counselors to homes weekly, or more often if required, to help the children and their families solve their problems without gang involvement.”

In its Fort Worth, Texas, and Tucson, Ariz., facilities, VisionQuest offers a unique continuum of care for dependent children that implements a three-program approach to provide individualized programming and support: VQ Community, VQ Semi-Independent, and VQ Sibling.

Super Heroes Assemble at Avengers Campus, An All-New Land Coming to the Disneyland Resort July 18, 2020

March 11, 2020

Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Park - Throughout the day at Avengers Headquarters at Avengers Campus inside Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California, recruits may encounter epic, live-action moments with Avengers heading off the threat of their foes. The Avengers Headquarters is the heart of the land and features the iconic Quinjet stealth aircraft. Avengers Campus opens July 18, 2020. (Disneyland Resort)

ANAHEIM, Calif., March 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Avengers Campus, an entirely new land dedicated to discovering, recruiting and training the next generation of heroes, will open July 18, 2020 at the Disneyland Resort, inside Disney California Adventure Park. Guests who are lifelong fans of Super Heroes and those discovering them for the first time are invited to team up with the Avengers and their allies to live out their Super Hero dreams in this fully immersive land that mixes innovative technology and fun for all ages.

Avengers Campus brings together Earth’s Mightiest Heroes for the common good, and they’re calling all recruits to join the action: Team up with the Avengers and their allies; sling webs with Spider-Man, taste-test inventive food and drinks and become part of a bigger universe. Kids and guests of all ages will find their powers as they unite with family and friends to take an active role alongside some of their favorite heroes, with a chance to live out their own heroic story.

Guests will have the chance to witness Spider-Man swinging into action high above Avengers Campus with gravity-defying, acrobatic feats never seen before in a Disney park. That may inspire them to experience the new attraction, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, which takes guests on an interactive escapade. And that’s just the beginning of the fun. Families and friends will train with Black Panther and Wakanda’s elite guards, the Dora Milaje; team up to save The Guardians of the Galaxy from The Collector’s Fortress; encounter heroes (and villains), and experience the thrills as Avengers hold off their foes and save the day. Those seeking provisions for their next mission will find them at Pym Test Kitchen.

While exploring Avengers Campus, recruits may encounter Iron Man in his new armor, the Mark 80, revealed for the first time at a Disney park. Ant-Man and The Wasp appear for the first time at the Disneyland Resort and Doctor Strange will train recruits in the ways of the mystic arts at an ancient Sanctum. The villain Taskmaster also debuts at Avengers Campus, and Black Widow, Black Panther, Thor, The Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America and Captain Marvel are among those joining the action.

“When we set out to create these extraordinary Super Hero experiences across the globe, we designed a new Spider-Man attraction for Disney California Adventure park in an immersive land with amazing character experiences,” said Scot Drake, portfolio creative executive for Walt Disney Imagineering. “We also crafted an original story that ties all the experiences together in ways that are authentic to these characters. We worked side-by-side with teams that brought the Avengers films and comics to life to create a place that champions the next generation of heroes.”

“Avengers Campus will be a place where fans and guests can finally step into the universe they love, and stand alongside some of their favorite heroes,” said Dave Bushore, vice president of Franchise Creative & Marketing for Marvel Studios. “The optimism inherent in Avengers Campus captures the diversity, power and teamwork these extraordinary characters possess, and now they come together to unite people from all over the world under one guiding principle: We are stronger together.”

Step into a new place in the universe

The doors to Avengers Campus welcome all Avengers, their allies, and new recruits. Tony Stark offered up the site, formerly one of his father’s Stark Industries complexes, as a place to train the next generation of Super Heroes.

The story of the land unfolds with authentic detail as Avengers Campus is comprised of several heroic locations, each hosted by a different Avenger or their ally to share their unique powers, technology and knowledge with recruits. Optimistic and forward-looking, these represent galactic spaces, mystic places, modern architecture and sleek technology.

The first key address is the Worldwide Engineering Brigade – also known as WEB. It brings together bright innovators like Peter Parker who have been assembled by Tony Stark to invent new technologies and equip everyday people to become heroes. WEB is home to the new WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, the first Disney ride-through attraction to feature this iconic Super Hero.

Avengers Headquarters is the heart of the land, an iconic building where guests may catch a glimpse of the Avengers springing into action ready to save the day.

Sling webs with Spider-Man and unite with the Guardians of the Galaxy

Tom Holland will reprise his role as Spider-Man in the land’s new attraction, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure. This new, action-packed adventure invites guests to put their web-slinging skills to the test, a feat accomplished with innovative technology adapted specifically for this attraction. The mission: team up with Spidey and help capture the out-of-control Spider-Bots before they wreak havoc on the Campus. During an open house at WEB, Peter Parker and the aspiring inventors ask guests to wear 3D glasses and test drive their latest invention, the WEB Slinger vehicle, which allows them to sling webs like Spider-Man and experience what it’s like to have super powers.

This family-friendly attraction blends physical sets and virtual environments to take new recruits on an interactive escapade. There is no height requirement for this attraction, allowing aspiring young heroes to join the fun.

Looming high above the land is the towering citadel of Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, a fan-favorite that opened in Disney California Adventure in 2017. Guests are the protagonists of this rockin’ adventure as they help rescue a cosmic gang of misfits. Taneleer Tivan, a.k.a. the Collector, has brought his unique collection of fantastical fauna, relics and species from across the cosmos to Earth. To their misfortune, Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Drax and Groot were recently made a part of Tivan’s “collection” and are being held captive within his Fortress. It takes some raucous mayhem, music inspired by the soundtracks from the movies and thrilling free-fall drop sequences for this adventure to break out the Guardians.

For the first time: Taskmaster, Ant-Man and The Wasp join a land full of heroes

Throughout Avengers Campus, Super Heroes come to life in ways that are more exciting than ever.

At Avengers Headquarters, guests have a chance to witness epic action as Captain America, Black Panther or Black Widow face their villainous foes. Or, they may see Spider-Man defying gravity as he flips 60 to 65 feet in the air above the rooftop of the WEB building. Following those stunning moves, Spider-Man will swing down off the building to ground level to meet up and say hello to new recruits.

New recruits at Avengers Campus may have heroic encounters with Iron Man in his new armor, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man and The Wasp, Doctor Strange, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther and Thor, some of whom are making their first appearances at the park. Loki gets into mischief, and Groot continues to roam near the Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!

The villainous Taskmaster, who will have a role in the upcoming film “Black Widow,” is seen for the first time at a Disney park at Avengers Campus. Taskmaster’s abilities include photographic reflexes. Taskmaster can replicate Super Hero moves, making this new villain a balanced foe for the Campus heroes.

Recruits can train with Black Panther’s loyal bodyguards, the Dora Milaje, to learn wisdom from Wakanda and what it’s like to be a member of this elite royal guard. Okoye, the leader of the Dora Milaje, also debuts for the first time in a Disney park as she leads this training encounter.

Exploring the overgrown ruins of an ancient Sanctum, guests can learn mysterious secrets from Doctor Strange and discover ancient, magical artifacts. Doctor Strange will train recruits in the ways of the mystic arts by bringing this ancient Sanctum to life with powerful spells. At night, the Sanctum glows even more vividly with majestic colors and lights, pulsating with mystic energy.

Pym Particles produce tiny treats and big bites

When it is time to take a break from the heroics, three new dining spots will offer sustenance.

Pym Test Kitchen: Just as Ant-Man and The Wasp used “Pym Particles” to grow and shrink just about anything, the Pym Test Kitchen applies this innovative science to the food creation. This unbound potential allows Pym Test Kitchen to showcase normal foods at unusual scales, including shareable bites, inventive-sized entrees and tiny treats. As guests watch the Pym food scientists at work in the kitchen lab, they will see a conveyor belt transport a regular-sized pretzel into a quantum tunnel – and it comes out big!

Guests will be able to taste-test foods like the Impossible™ plant-based large and micro meatballs with pasta served in a super-sized spoon with a tiny fork. Another choice is the “Pym-ini,” a panini on toasted focaccia with meats, cheese and marinara dipping sauce, which can be served by the slice or as a long, multi-portion sandwich. Those will go well with a glass of Pingo Doce, the distinctly green beverage from Avenger lore that will be available at Avengers Campus.

Gigantic soda cans and condiment bottles will be mounted in the vestibules so diners can tap into their accompaniments. Outdoor seating is a great place to watch for Super Heroes as they may be nearby taking on a challenge from Taskmaster.

Pym Tasting Lab: Adjacent to the Pym Test Kitchen, an oversized beer can overhead signals that grown-up beverages are available at Pym Tasting Lab. Guests may order a craft beer, ranging from a blood orange hefeweizen to an amber lager. These are poured from a reverse draft system where, thanks to the food scientists, the glass fills from the bottom up. Those thirsting for a beer cocktail will have four to choose from, along with bite-sized snacks.

Shawarma Palace: Fans may recall that after the Battle of New York, the exhausted Avengers took Tony Stark up on his offer to try the food at the “shawarma joint” about two blocks from the battle zone. There at Shawarma Palace, the Avengers discovered their new favorite food. The Avengers loved the food so much that when it came time to build Avengers Campus, they invited the Shawarma Palace crew to open a second location at Avengers Campus. Now, guests and heroes on the go can enjoy their favorite shawarma-inspired snacks at this food cart, which is decked out with memorabilia for Avenger fans. This cart offers hand-held savory wraps with fragrant chicken shawarma and garlic sauce. Or, guests may choose the Impossible™ plant-based falafel wrap.

Terran Treats: Taneleer Tivan did not limit his collection to lovable misfits; he is also curating a weird and wonderful menu of intergalactic eats at this food cart near Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! Churro spirals with unique flavors, and a cosmic orb with an outer shell revealing a decadent creamy filling, are just a few takes on what concoctions he has conceived to lure guests to his Fortress.

The latest in Spider-Bot prototypes

At the WEB Suppliers store, guests may find just what aspiring WEB members need, including swag to show off some WEB pride, items to tinker with at home and something every hero needs – a friendly sidekick. Interactive Spider-Bots, much like the ones seen throughout Avengers Campus, are powered by a remote control with eight articulated legs that move forward and backward. Guests may customize their Spider-Bot with tactical upgrades to harness the powers and style of some of their favorite Super Heroes including Black Panther, Iron Man and Black Widow, as well as Ant-Man and The Wasp. Guests may also connect with their friends’ Spider-Bots for epic showdowns.

Other must-have items at WEB Suppliers include a specially-designed backpack to carry and show Spider-Bots when they are not in action, stylish Spider-Man goggles that light up and interact with their surroundings, a Spider-Man action figure that interacts with mini Spider-Bots, Web-shooters that come to life with lights and sounds, a take-home spider web kit and Funko Pop! vinyl figurines of Spider-Man and Iron Man.

The Campus Supply Pod is the place to power up with official Avengers Campus gear including performance fleece hoodies and tees, headwear, drinkware and other Super Hero supplies.

Guests may learn more about Avengers Campus at Disneyland.com/AvengersCampus.

“The PointsBet team and LaLiga North America are strategically aligned in presenting fans with the best, fastest and most engaging experience possible,” noted Johnny Aitken, CEO of PointsBet USA. “As an operator that’s in the rare position of owning our technology end-to-end, we are able to move fast and innovate unique features for our customers that enhance their betting, such as being the only sportsbook with deep Spanish language functionality across our entire product so that the premium PointsBet quality is never lost in translation.”

This deal marks PointsBet’s third partnership with a major professional league after entering into a collaboration with both the NBA and XFL in February of 2020. PointsBet is the first sportsbook to partner with LaLiga in the US and will kick off ahead of El Gran Derbi on March 15, 2020.
